Would be cool if Amazon or another streaming service offered us lots of money in an effort to kick off their own programming? A little like ESPN and the SEC after the SWC turned them down.
Not a total fantasy as the money conferences will want to play it safe with their large amounts of money. The AAC would be one that the new players could afford to out bid ESPN for and also who would be willing to risk being on a new platform for making money closer to the Greenback Conferences.

I will say it again, do we have a deal with ESPN? Or did we leak information to get other networks to make better offers? Do we take this time delay as nothing solid has been done? AAC need a big pay out. I am seeing other raising concerns.

My theory is is that it’s all still being hammered out especially at the tier 2 and 3 levels. ESPN+ is probably the big hold up there. We can shop those tiers around for maybe more money at the tier 2 level. But tier 3 wherever we go is probably worth every school getting a few Amazon gift cards.

If we’re playing hard ball with ESPN on tier one rights still. That’s just not smart no one is going to pay more or give us a prayer at the same level of exposure.
